ACT 2 SC. 1 Flashcards
MRS WESTENRA. Such a lovely day outside. Wouldn’t you rather sit in the sun, Miss Anya?
I’ve been consulting with your brother and Professor Van Helsing.
MRS WESTENRA. Are they still locked in discussion?
Deep discussion.
MRS WESTENRA. I hoped the professor would see Lucy immediately.
He wants to have all the data first, in order to make an, care este cuvantul, an assumption.
MRS WESTENRA. What if his assumption is proven wrong?
Then, I presume, he’ll recheck his assumption data.
MRS WESTENRA. [steps behind chair] It’s all beyond me. Doctors, professors, nurses, assumptions, data, and still Lucy is pale and drained of energy.
You must trust Professor Van Helsing.
MRS WESTENRA. I understand he’s considered something of a marvel in his field.
True.
MRS WESTENRA. What is his field– exactly?
Professor Van Helsing is a specialist in rare and obscure afflictions that attack the mind as well as the body.
ARTHUR. –But I persuaded her to have breakfast.
Her appetite was good?
ARTHUR. What of Mr. Harker?
He had a quiet night once he was put to bed.
VAN HELSING. This nobleman– “Dracula”–
A legend from my country. A legend to frighten young children who are unruly. “If you don’t behave, Dracula will get you.”
DR QUINCY. Would you be so kind, Miss Anya? Find Grimm and send him to me. He’s probably in the solarium at this hour.
I will find him.
